Ukraine have reached the quarter-finals of a major
tournament for only the second time, the previous instance being the 2006 World
Cup (eliminated by Italy).
-
Sweden have been eliminated from all three of their
knockout stage matches at the Euros (also vs Germany in 1992 and Netherlands in
2004).
-
Timed at 120:37, Ukraine’s Artem Dovbyk scored the
second-latest goal in European Championship history, behind Semih Sentürk v
Croatia in 2008 (121:01), and the latest match-winning strike in the
competition, overtaking Michel Platini v Portugal in 1984 (118:53).
-
Ukraine’s Oleksandr Zinchenko became
the fifth different Manchester City player to score at Euro 2020 after Kevin De
Bruyne, Raheem Sterling, Aymeric Laporte and Ferran Torres – only Atalanta
(also five) have had as many different players score at the tournament.
-
Andriy Yarmolenko has either scored
(two) or assisted (three) five of Ukraine's eight European Championship goals.
Indeed, five goal involvements is level with Andriy Shevchenko (4 goals, 1
assist) for the most by a Ukraine player at major tournaments (World Cup & Euros).
-
Emil Forsberg has scored four goals
at Euro 2020; the only player to score more at a single edition of a major
tournament (World Cup & Euros) for Sweden is Kennet Andersson at the World
Cup in 1994 (5).
-
Sweden’s Marcus Danielson became the
fourth player to receive a red card in extra-time of a European Championship
match, and first since Nuno Gomes for Portugal against France in 2000.

Latest PostGoodbye!
Well folks, that's it from me, and that's it from Glasgow!
Four games were hosted at Hampden, and we've seen some spectacular goals and a fair share of incredible moments. Sadly not too many of them came the way of Scotland. Still, I'm already dreaming about Qatar.
Congratulations to Ukraine tonight, and good luck to the eight teams dreaming of glory in the quarter-finals.
Thanks for your company tonight. It's been a blast!
'We are writing history'
FT: Sweden 1-2 Ukraine (AET)
Ukraine's Oleksandr Zinchenko told BBC Sport: “First of all I would like to celebrate today, we are writing history. I would like to thank the supporters during this game, after the first three games we deserved criticism but we came back and did what we wanted. Unbelievable emotions inside.
“The power is not how you punch, the power is how you stand up. We knew it would be a tough game, it doesn’t matter about the tactics or how we play, we have to win. We have to achieve this. People who were supporting us during this competition deserve this."
On England, the Manchester City man added: “I watched the first half before the game, this team is showing some class in this competition with a lot of superstars on the field. I would love to see my team-mates as soon as possible because I miss them.”
'We played for all Ukraine fans'
FT: Sweden 1-2 Ukraine (AET)
Ukraine boss Andriy Shevchenko told BBC Sport: “I am so happy, we played for all Ukraine fans, for the people who came here. We have a lot of Ukrainian community live in Britain. I know how much money they would be spent to come and I am very pleased my players gave everything tonight.
“We tried to close both sides and tried to have a little bit more control of the game. I am happy because at this stage of the tournament you have to give more than 100% and what I saw from my players today they really tried and played with heart.
“My message to the players was to believe, we are here and this is our chance to change the future and we did it.
“I saw the first half of England Germany. England are a great team, a lot of great players and a great manager. It will be a hard game for us.“

Still no sign of a Ukrainian on the press conference video call. Will they leave this as late as their winner?
'I felt they were diving'
FT: Sweden 1-2 Ukraine (AET)
On the winner and an exchange of words with Andriy Shevchenko, Andersson said: "They managed to whip it in towards the end. We managed to keep them away well, but I thought we maybe should have kept it away.
"I was a little bit tired. I felt they were diving a bit towards the end, but I was complaining to the fourth official. He didn't agree with me."
'Penalty was probably right'
FT: Sweden 1-2 Ukraine (AET)
Sweden head coach Jan Andersson said: "First half we had chances but they managed to get the lead. We equalised before half-time, and in the second half we had four really great chances including hitting the post and the crossbar.
"It felt we would score eventually, but unfortunately we didn't."
On the penalty, he added: "My colleagues in the stand told me it was a red card. It was a very experienced referee. I haven't seen it yet but I think it's probably right."

Scenes
FT: Sweden 1-2 Ukraine (AET)
The Ukraine players are making their way over to the north east corner of the National Stadium in Glasgow. The stadium announcer asks for fans to keep their distance in the stand, but there's no sign of that. It's bedlam over there as the supporters make their way to the front of the stand to greet their heroes.
It's a Ukrainian love-in in Glasgow.
